I am constantly amazed at the tendency of some to use the perspective of hindsight to condemn decisions of those who did not possess the supernatural gift of predictive prophecy at the time they made their decisions. So when a friend asked whether I believe that those who supported George W. Bush’s decision to attack […]

President Obama claims that the extremism and reality-challenged nature of his political opponents explain his limitless policy failures, which, of course, he also refuses to acknowledge. This is truly rich but nothing new. Obama told New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, “What you’ve seen with our politics … is increasingly politicians are rewarded for taking […]

It’s time to revisit the widely disseminated myth that compromise in politics and governance is the highest virtue. Recently, I heard a television host whom I like and respect lament that Congress left town without taking action on our border crisis. Members of Congress, the argument goes, just need to get together, put aside their […]

Tell me: Has any other United States president ever goaded the opposition party to bring impeachment proceedings against himself? Has any other so sneeringly mocked and taunted the other party? President Obama is not only not the uniter he promised to be; he is the agitator in chief. Just consider the contrast with President George […]

Have we arrived at the point in our nation that a Democratic president and powerful members of his administration can act as lawlessly as they choose without any significant objection or protest from the Democratic Party, the liberal media and Democratic voters? Deny it as they might, liberals seem to have less fealty than conservatives […]

  True, the Halbig case, if it makes its way to the Supreme Court, will present an opportunity for Chief Justice John Roberts to redeem himself from his abominably activist salvation of Obamacare. But more important, it will be an opportunity for the high court to reaffirm this nation’s commitment to the rule of law. […]

It’s no wonder President Obama tries to lock his normally fawning liberal media out of his fundraisers. He says things he doesn’t want even them to hear — or report. Sometimes they complain, but their disgraceful loyalty never wanes. On the West Coast earlier this week to meet donors from two top Democratic super PACs, […]

Efforts to proclaim moral equivalence are not always misguided; sometimes each side is equally at fault or close enough. But these efforts are often misguided and unhelpful — and sometimes harmful. Throughout my life, there has been an increasing trend to attach moral equivalence to all kinds of disputes and conflicts, such as Israel vs. […]

I don’t think Congress should begin impeachment proceedings against President Obama right now, but I also don’t think that considering the idea is “crazy talk.” The man has, in my view and that of many others, committed multitudinous impeachable offenses, and we need to strenuously object and bring it to the public’s attention every chance […]

Attorney General Eric Holder once again played the race card — this time on national television, in an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” claiming that he and President Obama have been targets of “a racial animus” by some of the administration’s political opponents. “There’s a certain level of vehemence, it seems to me, that’s directed […]

Only if we understand that Wednesday was “Opposite Day” can we comprehend President Obama’s bizarre remarks in Texas concerning our border crisis. He said he had asked Gov. Rick Perry, “Are (members of Congress) more interested in politics, or are they more interested in solving the problem? … If the preference is for politics, then […]

Do we conservatives really mean it when we say that we need to promote our ideas in the popular culture through books, movies and other media? If so, we need to support people like Dinesh D’Souza and his latest movie and book, “America: Imagine the World Without Her.” I saw the movie, and I loved […]

It’s no accident that Obamacare has become emblematic of the Obama administration overall, because it exemplifies so thoroughly what Obama represents ideologically and functionally. Obamacare symbolizes government largesse, incompetence, inefficiency, arrogance and heartlessness, a government that knows better than you what is good for you. It epitomizes staggering spending, waste and debt. It typifies a […]

Do you remember what President Obama initially said about the Internal Revenue Service scandal? Do you recall his professed outrage? Obama wanted us to know how furious he was. He said, “The misconduct that (the inspector general’s report) uncovered is inexcusable.” “It’s inexcusable,” he repeated, “and Americans are right to be angry about it, and […]

More and more people are finally coming to the realization that President Obama is presiding over America’s decline, though there are differences of opinion as to whether he’s deliberately or even directly causing it. You have to admit that it’s outright bizarre and alarming that people are even having this discussion, yet many of us […]

I’m probably in some minuscule minority, but I am just not too worried about Hillary Clinton’s prospects to become our next president. I sense that people will detect her lack of authenticity and also properly associate her with Obama’s failed policies. So far, many have given Hillary a pass on her enabling her husband’s serial […]

Do you think leftists are the slightest bit troubled by the public’s overwhelming opposition to their crusade to force the Washington Redskins to change their name? That was rhetorical; I give you more credit. Despite leftists’ ongoing effort to convince Native Americans and the rest of us that Native Americans must be offended by the […]

My good friend Andy McCarthy has another book out, “Faithless Execution,” which couldn’t be timelier in view of the deplorable state of current events in America. Though I have been a consistent critic of President Barack Obama’s — decrying his lawlessness and his disastrous and destructive policies — I have always replied in the negative […]

While President Obama diverts the nation’s attention with his other myriad scandals, the Obamacare Express continues to careen off the rails, leaving a wide path of destruction and rendering its supporters defenseless. The latest outrage, in a yearslong string, is that at least 4 million of the 8 million total Obamacare sign-ups contain flawed applications, […]

If people aren’t extremely concerned about what’s going on in this country now, you might want to check them for a pulse. Frankly, I am having a hard time getting my mind around the rapidity of the nation’s decline. I have written two books chronicling President Obama’s nightmarish path of destruction, but since the second […]

While President Obama diverts the nation’s attention with his other myriad scandals, the Obamacare Express continues to careen off the rails, leaving a wide path of destruction and rendering its supporters defenseless.

Everything about this horrendous Bowe Bergdahl affair reminds us just how out of touch President Obama is with ordinary Americans and American sensibilities. Just look at what we’ve learned. Obama reportedly expected that the American people would meet his egregiously lopsided deal exchanging five Osama bin Ladens for one Benedict Arnold with a “euphoric” response? […]

It obviously doesn’t bother President Obama a whit to usurp congressional power to impose more draconian environmental regulations — and probably not much more to do so in an election year, even when his action will hurt Democrats. What’s he going to do now, you ask? Well, his Environmental Protection Agency, in deference to and […]

Have you heard about “trigger warnings,” the latest thought control lunacy that has found its way onto college campuses? I weep for our children as they try to navigate the insanity in our society fronting as being protective of their interests. Trigger warnings are disclaimers that are attached to literature or other content to alert […]

The wheels are coming off the bulldozer that is the Obama administration. But that’s not a particularly new development. What’s new is that some Democrats and liberal media figures are beginning to speak out. These groups previously have unquestioningly supported Obama. They’ve gone to astonishing lengths to protect him and conspired with him to deceive […]

I am at a loss to understand what constructive purpose first lady Michelle Obama (and Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and others) hopes to achieve by constantly talking about the race issue. Last Friday, Michelle Obama chose to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education ruling — in […]

Congratulations to pro-abortion advocates for understanding the power of language and employing the art of propaganda to dupe much of the American public into believing that their motivation is “choice” and that abortion is “reproductive care.” No mean feat. Pro-abortionists are fit to be tied over the Missouri Legislature’s approval of a bill that requires […]

Before I begin, I want to pose a question to the powers that control our society today: Am I allowed to comment on issues that pertain to homosexuality if I don’t echo the views of our masters? Will people who read this column willingly twist what I say to justify condemnation of anyone who disagrees […]

Are we moving toward an America in which only one worldview is socially — and, God forbid, legally — acceptable? Are the proponents of “tolerance” truly as intolerant and tyrannical as they seem to be? It’s not just the political and cultural left’s increasingly totalitarian mindset in demanding that only its views be permitted that […]

Don’t trouble yourself trying to figure out whether President Obama is more political than ideological. He’s an expert at straddling both and getting his way without compromise.  Analysts have long debated whether partisan Obama would prevail over ideological Obama in his decision to approve or reject the Keystone XL pipeline, but in the end, it […]
